We define analogues of higher derivatives for $F_q$-linear functions over the field of formal Laurent series with coefficients in $F_q$. This results in a formula for Taylor coefficients of a $F_q$-linear holomorphic function, a definition…
We give a congruence for L-functions coming from affine additive exponential sums over a finite field. Precisely, we give a congruence for certain operators coming from Dwork's theory. This congruence is very similar to the congruence of…
An umbral calculus over local fields of positive characteristic is developed on the basis of a relation of binomial type satisfied by the Carlitz polynomials. Orthonormal bases in the space of continuous $\mathbb F_q$-linear functions are…
We study some classes of equations with Carlitz derivatives for $F_q$-linear functions, which are the natural function field counterparts of linear ordinary differential equations with a regular singularity. In particular, an analog of the…
The paper is a survey of recent results in analysis of additive functions over function fields motivated by applications to various classes of special functions including Thakur's hypergeometric function. We consider basic notions and…

We study certain classes of equations for $F_q$-linear functions, which are the natural function field counterparts of linear ordinary differential equations. It is shown that, in contrast to both classical and $p$-adic cases, formal power…
In this paper we compare several properties and constructions of the Carlitz polynomials and digit derivatives for continuous functions on $\F_q[[T]].$ In particular, we show a close relation between them as orthonormal bases. Moreover,…
Planar functions, introduced by Dembowski and Ostrom, have attracted much attention in the last decade. As shown in this paper, we present a new class of planar functions of the form $\operatorname{Tr}(ax^{q+1})+\ell(x^2)$ on an extension…
We study some problems in metric Diophantine approximation over local fields of positive characteristic.
In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…
In this paper, we investigate permutation polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q=2^m$, focusing on those in the form $\mathrm{Tr}(Ax^{q+1})+L(x)$, where $A\in\mathbb F_{q^n}^*$ and $L$ is a $2$-linear polynomial over…
Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and, for each integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the unique $n$-degree extension of $\mathbb F_q$. The $\mathbb F_q$-orders of an element in…
A strong consequence of quadratic forms becoming hyperbolic over the function field of a form is established. This result is invoked to obtain a new characterisation of hyperbolicity over function fields, and to recover a number of…
In this paper we describe new noncommutative factorizations of functions related to $d$-th tensor powers of Carlitz's $\mathbb F_q[\theta]$-module for $d\geq 1$, called higher sine functions. In recent work by the second author,…
In [Tha15], we looked at two (`multiplicative' and `Carlitz-Drinfeld additive') analogs each, for the well-known basic congruences of Fermat and Wilson, in the case of polynomials over finite fields. When we look at them modulo higher…
We establish sharp upper bounds on shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions over function fields. As an application, we prove some bounds for moments of quadratic Dirichlet character sums over function fields.
We prove that certain quotients of entire functions are characteristic functions. Under some conditions, the probability measure corresponding to a characteristic function of that type has a density which can be expressed as a generalized…
We study the existence of formal Taylor expansions for functions defined on fields of generalised series. We prove a general result for the existence and convergence of those expansions for fields equipped with a derivation and an…
